Title

St Bonach’s Chapel

Description

It is thought that a medieval chapel, possibly dedicated to St Bonach, once stood not far from the current site of Leuchars Parish Church. The chapel may have survived into the sixteenth century. In 1908 a number of long cist burials were unearthed in the playground of the school at Leuchars – these were widely interpreted as relating to the old chapel of St Bonach.
